DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0030] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A configuration of one embodiment of a portable shower device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In one embodiment, unless otherwise specified, terms such as "first" and "second" are used herein to distinguish between different components with the same name, and do not imply any significance or order. As shown in Fig. 1, portable shower device 100 includes device body 101, shower head 300 for cleansing connected to device body 101, flexible hose 200 connecting device body 101 and shower head 300, and a water supply and drainage system for supplying cleansing water and collecting dirty water after skin cleansing. Shower head 300 is provided with instant electric heater 307 for heating the clean water passing through it.

[0032] The electrical connections to the electric heater 307 are represented by dotted lines in FIG. 1 , and the electric heater 307 is located at one end of the purified water outlet system near the showerhead 300. In this embodiment, the electric heater 307 is located within the showerhead 300. Illustratively, the purified water outlet system includes a purified water container 106 and a purified water pump 108 located within the appliance body 101, a purified water pipe 202 through which the hose 200 passes, and a flush switch 302 located on the handle portion 301 of the showerhead 300. One end of the purified water pipe 202 is fluidly connected to the purified water container 106 via the purified water pump 108. The other end of the purified water pipe 202 is fluidly connected to the electric heater 307. The electric heater 307 is attached to the purified water pipe 202 within the showerhead 300, and the purified water pipe 202 is fluidly connected to the purified water container 106 via the purified water pump 108.

[0033] The purified water pipe 202 inside the showerhead 300 is fluidly connected to outlet holes 305 formed on the working surface 304 of the showerhead 300. The purified water pump 108, the cleaning switch 302, and the electric heater 307 are electrically connected to and controlled by a control device 104 disposed inside the device body 101. The working surface 304 of the showerhead 300 is configured to face the skin 400 with a small gap between them, and is provided with outlet holes 305 and recovery holes 306. The outlet holes 305 are used to spray purified water for skin cleansing and shower gel for cleansing onto the skin 400. The recovery holes 306 are used to collect the dirty water after it has been sprayed onto the skin 400 and purified, and return it to the dirty water container 102 inside the body 100 for recycling.

[0034] The cleaning switch 302 and electric heater 307 are electrically connected to the control device 104 of the device body 101 via a cable inside the hose 200, and are configured to be controlled thereby. As shown in FIG. 1 , the cleaning switch 302 is located on the handle 301 of the showerhead 300, and the heating switch 105 is located on the exterior of the device body 101. When the cleaning switch 302 is turned on, the control device 104 outputs a control signal to the purified water pump 108. This control signal starts the purified water pump 108, which draws purified water from the purified water container 106. The pressurized purified water passes through the purified water pipe 202 and is transported to the showerhead 300. After passing through the electric heater 307, the water is sprayed onto the skin 400 from the outlet holes 305 of the showerhead 300.

[0035] On the other hand, when the cleaning switch 302 is turned OFF, the control device 104 outputs a stop control signal to the purified water pump 108. This stop control signal stops the purified water pump 108, and the shower head 300 no longer sprays purified water onto the skin 400. When hot water is needed during a shower, the heating switch 105 and the cleaning switch 302 are turned ON in sequence, and purified water is passed through the electric heater 307, which instantly heats the water to the set target temperature. The heated purified water is sprayed from the shower head 300 toward the skin 400.

[0036] In this embodiment, by locating the electric heater 307 at one end of the water outlet system close to the shower head 300, purified water remaining in the hose 200 after a previous shower, more specifically, purified water remaining between the electric heater 307 and the outlet holes 305, is quickly removed (discharged) during a hot water shower. The purified water in the purified water pipe 202 can be applied to the skin 400 after passing through the electric heater 307, substantially preventing cold water from being applied directly to the skin 400. Furthermore, by locating the electric heater 307 inside the shower head 300, the delivery path of the stored warm purified water is shortened, reducing heat loss of the hot water in the delivery path, and achieving the effect of bringing the temperature of the warm purified water delivered to the skin 400 closer to the set target temperature.

[0037] The recovery system is also configured to include a sewage container 102 and a suction motor 103 arranged within the device body 101, and a sewage pipe 203 within a hose 200, and the suction motor 103 connected to the control device 104 is configured to start in response to a control signal based on an ON operation from the cleaning switch 302, and to stop its start in response to a stop control signal based on an OFF operation.

[0038] Specifically, when the cleaning switch 302 is turned on, the control device 104 outputs a start-up control signal to the purified water pump 108 and the suction motor 103. This control signal activates the purified water pump 108 and the suction motor 103, causing the purified water pump 108 to pump purified water from the purified water container 106. The pressurized purified water passes through the purified water pipe 202 and the electric heater 307 and is sent to the shower head 300, where it is sprayed from the outlet holes 305. Meanwhile, the negative pressure generated by the suction motor 103 passes through the dirty water pipe 203 of the hose 200 and the recovery hole 306 in the working surface 304 of the shower head 300, and acts on the skin 400. After showering, the water (dirty water) on the skin 400 is affected by the negative pressure and passes through the recovery hole 306 in the working surface 304 of the shower head 300, enters the dirty water pipe 203, and is collected in the dirty water container 102 via the dirty water pipe 203.

[0039] Meanwhile, the portable shower device 100 is provided with a gel container 107 and a gel pump 109, a gel pipe 201 is disposed in the hose 200, and a gel switch 303 for instructing the supply / stop of gel is provided in the handle portion 301 of the shower head 300. The gel pump 109 and the hose 200 are fluidly connected to the outlet holes 305 on the working surface 304 of the shower head 300 via the shower gel pipe 201. The gel pump 109 and the gel switch 303 are electrically connected to the control device 104 of the device main body 101. With the above configuration, a body wash system is formed that applies gel as body soap to the skin 400.

[0040] Specifically, in this body wash system, when gel switch 303 is turned on, control device 104 outputs a control signal to gel pump 109. The output of this control signal causes shower gel to be extracted from gel pump 109. The extracted shower gel passes through gel pipe 201 into shower head 300, and is then ejected from outlet holes 305 formed on working surface 304 of shower head 300 and applied to skin 400.

[0041] On the other hand, when the gel switch 303 is turned off, the control device 104 outputs a control signal to the gel pump 109 to stop driving, and this control signal stops driving the gel pump 109, so that the shower head 300 no longer applies gel to the skin 400. It is preferable that the gel pump 109 is a metering pump that extracts a predetermined amount of gel with a single input of a control signal.

[0042] 2, in this embodiment, the dirty water container 102, the purified water container 106, and the gel container 107 are arranged horizontally from the back in the order listed inside the device main body 101 in a detachable manner, and can each be removed independently from the device main body 101. A hose storage groove 110 is provided on the lower edge of the side of the device main body 101, and a hose 200 can be stored in the hose storage groove 110 when not in use. A handle, not shown in detail, is connected to the top of the device main body 101, and the hose can be stored in the hose storage groove 110 of the device main body 101 by rotating the handle.

[0043] Here, the electric heater 307 is an instantaneous electric heater as described above, and is configured to heat purified water while it is flowing. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 5, the electric heater 307 includes a heat pipe 3071 and an electrothermal conversion element, and connectors 3072 are provided on both ends of the heat pipe 3071, and the outer wall of the connector 3072 is configured to include a sealing structure 3073. For example, as shown in the figure, the connectors 3072 on both ends of the heat pipe 3071 are plug-in pipe fittings that can be inserted into the purified water pipe 202 and form an interference fit with the purified water pipe 202.

[0044] The sealing structure 3073 includes rubber, and although not shown in detail, it is configured to include a ring groove provided on the outer wall of the plug-in pipe fitting, a rubber ring groove provided on the outer wall of the plug-in pipe fitting, and a sealing rubber ring within the rubber ring groove. In this embodiment, connectors 3072 and sealing structures 3073 are provided on both ends of the heat pipe 3071. By inserting both ends of the heat pipe 3071 into the purified water pipe 203, the connection between the electric heater 307 and the purified water pipe 203 is completed, achieving the effect of facilitating professional assembly.

[0045] Illustratively, the electrothermal conversion element is an electrothermal conversion film, preferably a graphene film. The electrothermal conversion material is attached to the outer wall of the heat pipe 3071 by a film-forming process such as spraying, sputtering, or printing, to form an electrothermal conversion film. For example, the electrothermal conversion element is a heating rod. Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 6 , the heat pipe 3071 includes a first pipe hole 3074 for delivering purified water and a second pipe hole 3075 for attaching a heating rod, where the first pipe hole 3074 and the second pipe hole 3075 are adjacent and parallel to each other. A heating rod is installed in the second pipe hole 3075, and heat generated by the heating rod is transferred to the purified water flowing through the first pipe hole 3074 via the heat conduction pipe 3071, thereby heating the purified water.

[0046] 8, in this embodiment, the end of the heat pipe 3071 remote from the showerhead 300 is connected to an insulated pipe 310, which is fluidly connected to the purified water pipe 202 inside the hose 200. The purified water pipe 202 inside the hose 200 is typically made of a material that is easily removed after heating, to facilitate deformation of the hose 200. The insulation between the heat pipe 3071 inside the hose 200 and the purified water pipe 202 prevents the electric heater 307 from transferring heat to the purified water pipe 202 during operation, thereby reducing the risk of purified water leakage. The pipe 202 is removed from the electric heater 307.

[0047] 3 and 7-10, in this embodiment, showerhead 300 includes a head 308 and a holding handle 301, both of which are removably connected to each other via connector 309. A heat pipe 3071 is disposed in the head portion 308 of showerhead 300. An insulated pipe 310 is exposed from the end of head 308 connected to handle 301. A purified water pipe 202 in hose 200 passes through handle 301;

[0048] The configuration of this embodiment as described above makes it easy to connect the purified water pipe 202 inside the hose 200 to the electric heater 307. Specifically, during assembly, the head 308 and handle 301 of the shower head 300 are separated, the electric heater 307 is attached to the head 308 of the shower head 300, and the purified water pipe 202 inside the hose 200 is passed through. Next, the handle portion 301 is connected to the electric heater 307, and finally the handle portion 301 is connected to the head 308.

[0049] Thus, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, a manifold 315 is provided in the head portion 308 of the showerhead 300, and as shown in Figure 9, a base plate 316 is provided at one end of the manifold 315 away from the skin 400. The base plate 316 is provided with a dirty water passage 317. The purified water passage 311 and vibrator mounting portion 313, which are extended while being bent in the middle, have a nozzle mounting portion at one end of the purified water passage 311 closest to the skin 400, and a heat pipe mounting portion at the end of the purified water passage 311 closest to the skin 400 and near the handle portion 301.

[0050] In this way, after washing the skin, the dirty water enters the brush head 300 through the collection hole 306, then joins with the manifold 315 and enters the dirty water passage 317. A vibrator 312 is installed in the vibrator installation part 313, and the brush head 300 is driven to vibrate, thereby vibrating and massaging the skin 400. As shown in FIG. 8 again, the nozzle installation part is provided with a nozzle 314, which disperses the purified water and applies it to the skin 400 through the outlet holes 305. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the purified water passage 311 is provided in the center of the base plate 316, and as shown in FIG. 9, the vibrator mounting part 313 is provided on the back surface of the base plate 316.

[0051] In this embodiment, purified water for skin cleansing flows out from the center of the working surface 304, and dirty water after cleansing the skin flows back around the working surface 304. The purified water flowing in any direction from the center is absorbed by the surrounding brush portion 318, which can more effectively prevent the purified water and dirty water from leaking out of the shower head 300. The vibrator 312 and the nozzle 314 are connected via a base plate 316, which simplifies the internal structure of the brush head 300.

[0052] For example, in another embodiment, the electric heater 307 may be disposed within the hose 200. For example, one end of the electric heater 307 may be connected to the handle portion 301 of the brush head 300 to secure the electric heater 307, and the other end of the electric heater 307 may be fluidly connected to the purified water pipe 202 within the hose.

[0053] As described above, the present invention has been described in detail through specific embodiments, but these detailed descriptions are intended only to help those skilled in the art understand the contents of the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. In other words, various modifications, equivalent conversions, etc. made by those skilled in the art to the above solutions based on the concept of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0054] As described above in detail, the portable shower device of the present invention provides a portable shower device that can be used in hospitals, nursing homes, homes, etc., where a person can use the shower to cleanse their skin while lying down indoors, for example in bed, without any purified water or dirty water leaking out. This allows staff caring for patients in hospitals or nursing homes, and family members caring for patients at home, to clean the patient's skin with a shower with extremely little effort, and its industrial applicability is immeasurable.
